Information Management
The research activities of the information management lab span across the entire cycle of information management (or data/knowledge management) blurring the boundaries between data and information and knowledge in the process. The work ranges from theoretical to behavioral to system design. The specific areas of work and relevant publications are given below:
DATA PERSPECTIVE
Here, the focus is in the area of effective text analysis, users' text retrieval behavior, large-scale text processing, internet and WWW search, semantic and iterative search, and collective intelligence. The problems currently under investigation are:
- Designing parallel and high performance crawling
- Identifying keyword clusters from blogs
- Descriptor token identification from Documents
- Information extraction
- Large scale text analysis
A web-based system harnessing a knowledge community has been designed (accessible at http://k-comm.tk)
INFORMATION PERSPECTIVE
The work done in the Information Science field, with its focus on Information Seeking, Needs, Behavior and Use (INSU) is closely related to information management as well. Here, information management is seen from the point of view of the user or seeker, as opposed to the view of the system (as it happens in system design and computer science) or from the view of the organization (as happens in Knowledge Management).
KNOWLEDGE PERSPECTIVE
The Information Management has been involved in looking at knowledge management, not just from the organizational perspective, but the individual perspective as well. The idea is that every individual is a powerhouse of knowledge (in different areas, some of which might appear mundane or irrelevant, but would be of use to someone else). A knowledge community has been developed (accessible at http://k-comm.tk) which should throw further light on research in this area. We have been successful at applying our work to the real-world.
- A company using our semantic search technology is Wordster.
- Iterative search is being used by nanotechnology.com.sg
- A knowledge community has been developed (accessible at http://k-comm.tk)
